esteemed, most renowned and glorious"; "eudoxos" -
"most celebrated and glorious"; "eudoxia" - "celebrity,
renown." The Greek substantive "doxa," used in the com-
pound nouns "orthodox," "doxology," and so on, is derived
from the verb "dokeo." Every student of English literature
knows that "doxa" signifies "glory, honor, renown." There
are numerous phrases in the classical Greek authors where
"doxa" is used to signify "glory": "Peri doxis makheshai" -
"to fight for glory." The famous Athenian orator Demos-
thenes "preferred glory to a tranquil life," "glory equal to
that of the gods." I am cognizant of the fact that "doxa"
is, although seldom, used to signify (a) opinion, belief;
(b) dogma, principle, doctrine; and (c) anticipation or hope.
But all the same, its general and comprehensive sense is
"glory." In fact, the first portion of the Canticle begins with:
"Doxa [Glory] be to Allah in the highest."
